Fatal arrhythmias are one of the main manifestations of ischemic heart disease in diabetic patients. Here, we investigated the effect of pretreatment with vildagliptin on myocardial arrhythmias, inflammatory responses, and expression of genes regulating mitochondrial biogenesis following cardiac ischemic injury in type II diabetic male Wistar rats....

Whether or not pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) plus left atrial posterior wall isolation (PWI) using contact force (CF) sensing improves the ablation outcome for persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) is unclear. This study compared the outcome of PVI plus PWI and additional non-PV trigger ablation for persistent AF with/without CF sensing. This retros...

Large-scale multi-center studies have reported on efficacy of the wearable cardioverter-defibrillator (WCD). However, outcomes focused on WCD patients treated at community-based acute care centers are lacking. Patients with cardiomyopathy were included when left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at baseline was ≤ 35%. There were 120 patients mee...

Vasovagal syncope (VVS) is the most common type of syncope; the lone cardioinhibitory syncope represents only a small group of patients; however, the "cardioinhibitory component" is highly prevalent in reflex syncope and can be severe enough to produce asystole, lasting for a few seconds followed by a recovery to sinus beats. The environment in whi...

The most common complications of electrophysiology (EP) procedures are related to vascular access. Our study aims to conduct a meta-analysis comparing ultrasound (US)-guided vs. palpation-based technique for femoral venous access in EP procedures. Electronic databases were searched and systematically reviewed for studies comparing femoral vein punc...

Fibro-inflammatory processes in the extracellular matrix are closely associated with progressive structural remodeling in atrial fibrillation (AF). Serum concentrations of tenascin-C (TNC), an extracellular matrix glycoprotein, and of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) might serve as a marker of remodeling and progressive inflammation of the...

Hydroxychloroquine, chloroquine, and azithromycin have been used for treatment of COVID-19, but may cause QT prolongation. Minority populations are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. This study evaluates the risk of QT prolongation and subsequent outcomes after administration of these medications in largely underrepresented minority COVID-19 ...

Ventriculoatrial (VA) conduction is a critical component in many arrhythmias, has a diagnostic value in electrophysiology study (EPS), and is implicated in pacemaker-mediated arrhythmias. This study sought to characterize retrograde conduction during EPS and to utilize it as a diagnostic tool in patients without AV block. Patients with intact AV co...

Data on antithrombotic therapy after percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is scarce and no randomized evaluation has been performed to demonstrate what is the best antithrombotic strategy. Up to date, different antithrombotic regimens with variable durations are currently used. In fact, the use of oral anticoagulation (OAC) or dual a...
